So I have 4 hd's.
2 on IDE1, and other 2 on IDE3, which is apart of my Soyo Board. Its the onboard raid, but I am not utilizing that aspect. I am running just normal IDE.
Ok, heres my prob
I have 2 drives on the raid ide as normal
1 120gb maxtor
1 13gb fujitsu
About a month ago I compressed the "I" drive, the 13gb one, and some files were compressed, some werent.
Now I just realized that I cannot cut and paste files from it over to other drives. I get an "IO Error". It will not work.
The compressed files, shown in blue, do not move. It seems like they are the main culprit.
So I should reformat right? Ya I tried that.
First I tried it in Disc Management, control panel..etc.
Went here, selected I: Format, etc. Gets about 80 or so percent in, and then I get an error message saying it cant be formatted. I look at it, it shows it as having 12.72 gb free, so it seems empty. I go into My Computer, look at the drive, nothings inside, but then I just click the icon once, so that it selects it, and shows the stats on the left, know what i mean. At this part it shows nothing.
I cant copy and paste anything into it either. Its messed up.
So I reboot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
I then copy over all the noncompressed files from the I to the F(my 120gb). That works fine. I did this because I was planning on formatting thinking it would work for sure.
Anyways, I select all the options, and it gets to about the same place, and does not work. Stops. I type "I:", and I get nothing. Doesnt recognize it.
So at this point Im pretty pissed off.
I get back into Windows.
Go back to Disk Management, and deleted the partition. Nothing worked there, after I tried to add it back in again, as a new one, and had to format it, but it would not work again.
I uninstailled the device from my system.
Why can I not format this drive. When I go to decompress the files. I get the IO error for each. I am stuck on what to do. Please help.
